It reminds me a lot of Good Night, Good Luck, which I enjoyed. I think people are harsh on F/N because they REALLY want either The DK or Wall-E to get nominated.

Now I know I'm exaggerating what everyone is saying, but let's be real. The fact of the matter is, TDK has missed out on MANY key nominations and wins. A PGA nomination doesn't make it a lock for best picture.

As for Wall-E, I think it still has a strong shot.
